Audi SQ5 TDI (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 15 October 2012 12:30

Super-fast diesels with four-rings on the nose are nothing new. The A8 and Q7 have featured rapid V8, and even V12, oil burners for years. But only now has Audi put together the underbonnet hardware to tackle BMW’s epic 35d engine in its volume mid-range cars. First sampled in the new A6 late last year, the 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo instantly ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI Quattro SE S tronic (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 05 July 2012 15:43

Seven years in the making, the largely flawless Audi A6’s only failing is that it seeks to appeal to the broadest possible customer spectrum by being so utterly anonymous that it is, frankly, almost too anonymous. A perfectly decent drive albeit, it’s far more of a technological tour de force than anything of a thrill to helm, having rifled the ...

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Steve Moody, 03 April 2012 08:46

The new 2012 Audi A6 Allroad is an unusual brew of contradictions and adaptations. On the one hand, this model, now in its third iteration, is a darling of the Middle England red-trousered brigade, that most conservative of social sets. Yet it is effectively a blinged-up A6 Avant, with chrome plastered everywhere (hardly the best material for off-road work), hung ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2010 14:47

So what exactly is the new Audi A7? It’s Audi’s answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury saloon that thinks it’s a coupé. Unlike the CLS, but like the Porsche Panamera, Aston Rapide and BMW 5-series GT, the Audi has an opening hatch instead of a saloon boot. Think A5 Sportback but on a bigger scale. So it’s a re-imagined ...

Audi S5 Sportback (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2010 10:00

Audi’s massive model expansion continues apace, and while Ingolstadt is busy offering up a plethora of new shapes and sizes (A7 Sportback, Q3) it’s also busy enhancing its existing models. The Audi A5 Sportback seemed a little odd when it was introduced in 2009, but it’s best to think of it as an exciting version of the A4 saloon. And ...

Audi TT RS Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 24 June 2009 12:30

Audi doesn’t make many RS-badged cars. Since 1992 it has only applied them to five high-performance, low-volume models: the original RS2 estate, and two versions each of the RS4 and RS6. Each had a monstrous engine shoe-horned into a saloon or estate body, and made BMW’s M-cars and Mercedes-Benz’s AMGs look pretty common by comparison. So any new RS model ...

Audi S5 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2009 19:48

The Audi bandwagon moves on and its latest model is the new A5 Cabriolet. At one end of the scale you can have it with a goody-two-shoes 2.0-litre TDI (complete with stop/start technology), and at the other end is the rather rapid S5 tested here. In the switch from Coupe to Cabriolet, the S5 has ditched the 4.2-litre V8 for ...

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2008 15:30

Audi has just about the most bewildering array of transmissions of any car maker – and it’s about to get more confusing, with the launch of a twin-clutch version of the S5 coupe. We’ve just driven the seven-speed S tronic S5 to bring you this first CAR review. Across its burgeoning range, Ingolstadt now offers manual transmissions, Tiptronic automatics, CVT ...

Audi A8 2.8 V6 facelift (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

CJ Hubbard, 03 September 2007 09:09

I'm sorry, did you say this was a mid-life facelift for Audi's luxury A8? Fair enough – the cosmetic changes aren't that exciting. In fact, they're really rather difficult to spot, being limited to some new front grille colours, re-arranged LEDs in the tail-lights, and new LED indicator strips in the door mirrors. Plus a different alloy wheel or two ...
